Trying out The Sims and The Sims 2 Tomorrow!

                I went ahead and bought The Sims and The Sims 2 to round out all the games as I already own 3 and 4 already. So Larry and I probably will be playing it in the afternoon after our recording sessions. I will have a double review next Monday for you guys what I thought of it and if it was worth getting. yes we are talking back in the late 90's and early 2000's when these two games released.

              I have peaked at it a tiny bit but not too much as I want Larry to show me the ropes in the game. I am not sure how to navigate in the game so I am excited for him and I to play and see the difference between 1, 2, 3 and 4 and how it's evolved over the years. So that is the post for today, little shorter then normal but I just wanted to put it out there that I got the two games and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Entertainment Man Podcast 5th Anniversary!

              As you know Entertainment Man Podcast is turning 5 years old this weekend on Saturday. Now I have not spoken about it whatsoever and it is my own fault and to be honest I am not sure what the plan is. I am having a hard time coming up with ideas. Plus I already have prior commitments this weekend to even think about a live show this weekend to celebrate the 5th anniversary but maybe the 10th if the podcast gets to that milestone.

             Anyways, I am trying to come up with some ideas what to talk about. It is really difficult to do something from the heart but I am trying my hardest to get ideas in my head so I can actually do the episode for this weekend. Now premiere wise, I may need to schedule it for later and the entire audio only as well because I may be at the hockey rink near 3 pm Sunday afternoon. Yes I said Premiere. For the first time in months, I am actually going to be doing a video version of Entertainment Man Podcast and first time I've shown my face on the podcast in a long time. 

               However after that will be back to Audio ONLY after that as old episodes continue to air till Late April and I will address it eventually when it is going to be complete and we can get back to normal NEW content as a community and we can put the past behind us and move on. Back to 5th anniversary, I will be trying my best to actually make it a lengthy episode hopefully 40 - 45 minute episode so I can really celebrate the 5th anniversary. I should be proud of this milestone as I've worked hard over the years building the channel. Anyways that is the episode for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Got a lot done this weekend and more work being done!

             Back on the weekend, I worked my butt off with the content getting things finished. I will not say if I am finished with the editing but I got a lot of things finished and done with ChrisBOnTheWeb but there is still a ton to do and get completed. I know what I need to get done this week and the podcast with Larry needs to be worked on and finished and ready for Thursday as it's show day once again. It never ends for him and I.

            It is all about priorities what needs to be done first and so on and so forth. I am getting better with staying on track but it is work in progress each and every day. I have learned to book days off when I need em and this weekend is kind of a test on the time off I need as I have already scheduled commitment with the family as my niece and nephew have their hockey tournament. I am on a podcast for an interview this weekend that's been rebooked a few times due to illness and I will let you guys know when it is up to listen to. Anyways I am excited for this week, the interview on a podcast as a guest and also recording with Larry and of course the 5th anniversary but I will talk about that tomorrow on the blog and always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Weekly Updates [02-28-2025]

          It is time for another weekly update. First thing I want to address is the Twitch channel being permanently disabled and Chris is no longer using his account anymore and isn't streaming video games anymore. However he does the occasional live streams on Facebook, X and Instagram from time to time but not too often. Whenever there is time as he's become a very busy person recently. 

          He is still uploading and scheduling posts for the older episodes so he can continue to post up new content and he is between. We hope to be finished it by end of the weekend so we can move on with the next stage planning episodes. Not much more to say except our secret Discord project that has been in limbo as he's not worked on it whatsoever and has been busy with other projects. That are the updates and will chat with everyone end of next week.

Making a Few Adjustments to our Community!

              Our community is always changing and evolving. We have made an important decision when it came to me streaming over on Twitch. I only get 2 people and happens to be part of my staff, that's it. So I am going to focus on Facebook and Twitter Streams for right now. I just feel like I am not willing to stream if the streams are dead quiet all the time. I know Facebook and X I will be focusing on those two the most and the occasional Instagram Stream from time to time. So that is just a minor update. I want to primarily focus on our community, social medias, blogs and the podcasts as well. Don't worry I didn't buy the lights for nothing, still being used for podcasts and the social media streams as well. Was worth the investment.

              Also it is no secret that we have a Discord Server and we will be opening it to the public soon. Still working on it and building the channels and growing it so we have a nice little community. There is no ETA on the release of the public server but one thing is definite, we are not planning on having Mods at the moment but the Staff are always there to help in case there are problems but we will see what direction our server goes in. Anyways those are the two minor adjustments to our community and have a great weekend and talk Monday.

New LED lighting for our Studio Review

           So I have had a couple of days to use the new LED lights in the studio and I love em even though they are so bright but they have made life with streaming so much better especially with the green screen behind me that you see in the normal videos. This was something that was needed in the studio to complete the green screen effect on streams and podcasts.

           So the grade I would give it would be A+ as it is a great product and really lights up the space and gives you that green screen effect. Amazon is a great place to grab things you need and easy to be delivered to your door especially like the weather we have been having here in Ontario, better then going out and about to get it. Don't get me wrong my ring lights are good but this is the future of this studio space. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk tomorrow!

Studio Lighting is Updated!

        Our studio here has been updated with better lighting. I mean our ring lights were good and they sit here in the studio not used and I probably will unmount them off the tripods eventually but we have new ones and bigger and brighter, LED lights to be exact and this should really take things to the next level especially for Twitch streams and the podcasts as well. I have inserted a picture to show you what they look like in the studio itself.

             I will do a review at the end of the week as I will be testing it the last couple of days. But it is very nice to have some more brighter lights then I had before. I have to decide what I want to do with the old lights and where I can store em and plus I will have two open tripods for other uses in the studio so if you have any ideas please do not hesitate to comment or send a message to us via email or Social Media. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Firing on all cylinders!

               We are firing on all cylinders! All of The CBOTW Show are edited and scheduled to post week after week on Wednesdays. There is only Audio as tech issues with the video side where the volume was muted and not sure why. Also today's episode is scheduled and probably has been posted up already to majority of the platforms ready for the links to be posted up in 2 hours (1 pm EST.)

             We continue to re-post the old Entertainment Man Podcast so we can bring that podcast back to video again hopefully by 2026 at this point. Once all the episodes are up, the channel will be settled down a bit with the posting. I am worried about over posting but we have to make sure all episodes are available to you guys. We are trying to do the re-uploads as fast as we can so we can move on with the newer content. Anyways that is the post for today, as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Weekly Updates [02-21-2025]

          This week has been chaotic. Recording editing and what not. I will not talk about the video Chris is going to be recording but he needs to talk to you guys about the recent episodes him and Larry recorded as the video there was no sound so he had to scrap it but he will talk about it in a video after he's back from his interview followed by a haircut this afternoon. He wants to set the record straight ahead of time. 

          We are on the right track with editing and scheduling the posts. After that, he is working on new content hopefully and also re-uploading episodes to YouTube so he will be working on those this weekend. Also we have been working on a Brand new Discord server and already has members in and in a recent stream, Chris mentioned putting it into the bot system he uses on Twitch. 

          We are currently doing anything and everything to get things done this weekend so we can go back to planning new episodes, continuing on. What I gather he is working all weekend on stuff and the upcoming week he will be working on the next Ghostwriter for the following week. We are doing everything we can to get everything finished up. Making up for lost time while we are sick. Talk to you all next week.

The CBOTW Show Plans & Updates!

              The CBOTW Show is back in session today with another 5 amazing episodes of Ghostwriter as we continue on with the series. Now in 2 weeks, we will be again recording more episodes so we are ahead of schedule as we're getting ready for the transition with Larry from in studio to him and I doing things online as he's moving this year so we are going to be transitioning over to online but not yet but we are starting the transition planning. 

                Also we will be recording in 2 weeks 4 more episodes so this should take us into April maybe early May as well so we will be ahead of schedule and we are sticking to the once a month recording sessions for now and they seem to work which is great with this method but procrastination has been really bad so we're trying to weave around everything as much as possible and we will make sure to have a proper schedule and timetable to when we record podcasts and start preparing them. Anyways those are the updates on this podcast, hope you guys have a great weekend and I will talk to you all on Monday!

Video Game Updates!

                Now are games I want to go back to and work on and of course some I don't want to return to.. cough... cough Grocery Store Simulator. lol. Here is my list:

Super Market Simulator: I have been playing off the streams and been trying to build up the money behind the scenes and it has been hard to really build it up. Paying for the products constantly doesn't help plus cashier plus security doing all of those it's hard and I need to get the money up on the game so I can honestly feel the stress with it. 

Fortnite: Been playing Lego forever and ready for the next adventure and beyond. Ready to go into the Winter Biomes and see what I can actually find. Luckily I have heat and cold off and I know it's a bit of cheating. Anyways.

Minecraft: I haven't really played Minecraft much. Haven't been in that creative mood to work on the office towers but it is on my priority list of things to get finished and soon and with me being able to be at my computer at longer length of times, I plan to stream a little bit more.

           There are a couple of the gaming updates and where I am at with things gaming wise and I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.
